I feel sorry for my 2004 F250 KR I just sold

In the past 4 years I've had 7 6.0's. I pick them up fix them if they need fixed and sell them. I picked up a 2004 CC KR 4X4 that had a blown egr cooler and needed ball joints and a few other front end parts. Anyway I put a 4" lift new wheels and tires and did a few mods while I was doing the egr and oil cooler replacement. Got it fixed up and looked good and ran great. Time for sale. Anyway threw it up for sale and a guy came buy and wanted it. Ok. Told what I did to it and he had a blank face like he was lost. He bought it and drove away. I crawled under my other truck to work on it and it wasnt ten minutes when my wife came out and said the guy that bought my truck wanted to talk to me on the phone. Well my hands were greasy and I asked what he wanted. She asked him and she looked at me like omg. I said what like did he just wreck it or something. He asked what kind of fuel it took??? I'm like what? She asked him again and same question. I said DIESEL. he said ok thanks. Hung up . I told my wife that poor truck is doomed and that guy is going to go broke. WOW!

Wow!, he's got a steep and possibly expensive learning curve ahead. Probably getting "gas" on his way home to orders bully dog tuner and a make an appointment to get his 14in lift installed. Lol

Yeah, you need 9mm bullet proof, not 0.22 bullet proof for running gas LOL. She will run pretty hot though, till she don't.

Can't idiot proof things either ( abs, traction control, 10+ airbags, icy surface detection, self parking cars,collision avoidance) 'cause idiots are getting even dumber.

Someone needs to come up with an owner-proof truck.

Oh that already been done. It's called a TAXI.

it's a common question..... with a lot of the serious power
diesel guys converting to run their engines on either
plutonium or unobtanium, he just wanted to check before
he topped off the tank.

there was a woman with a duramax at the gas station filling
up a couple days ago, when i pulled in to top off the tank....
she was filling up at the flex fuel pump....

Our Fuels – Propel Fuels

i didn't notice until she started up and drove away that it
was a diesel.... now, propel fuels sells biodiesel and E85
flex fuel.... but not at this station..... the pumps have the
same coloring scheme, and i'm thinking that a pretty
upsetting mistake was just made....

what will 15% methanol and regular gas do in a diesel?

I know someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't it have in writing below the guage the words Diesel Only? Brain is glowing very dimly right now but doesn't the fuel cap have fuel type marked in the area? Looks like someone saw 4x4 and that's was all it took. 9228bobcat you might want to keep an eye on that truck from a distance. When the owner breaks it buy it cheap and rebuild it for another resale.
